The tires you choose will make the most difference in spinning the front tires. The tires that come standard on PT's are certainly not very sticky. Therefore they spin easily and make lot's of squealing noises. The harder tread materials give better life than a softer tread but at the expense of sliding around on corners and spinning on acceleration. Certainly a wider tire will make spinning and slipping less of a problem, at least in the dry. Potholes can really tear your tires (and wheels) up as move to ultra low profile since the side wall is so short. 40 series and potholes don't play well together.
Chrome is really a cost and personal preference issue. Typically wheels are steel or alloy. Lot's of different alloys out there. Alloys are lighter (some much lighter) than steel but can be more brittle and crack rather than bend. Generally, for a given size, a very light weight wheel is going to cost more.
The biggest drawback to the DC wheels is their 6" width which limits how wide a tire you can mount.
